Folding Wood

WOODEN FOLDED LAMP

The main purpose of our project was to find out how to work with material, what are its features. Our technology was folding, and material – wood. So we wanted to prove, that we could really fold it. Work with a material in its extreme points.

After we found the technique, we started creating the lamp, thinking about main purposes: avoidance of the direct light; thoughts about the rhythm; saving materials; using of one-way fold to save time of cutting process; creation of the form from one piece – without the introduction of any other materials (like glue) in between.

PERCENTAGE OF USING MATERIALS

THEORY

A=410*462=189420mm² = 1894 cm²
B= A – lamp hole (r=14mm) = 189420 – 615.44 = 188804.56 mm² = 1888 cm²
C=A-B= lamp hole (r=14mm) = 615.44
D=B/A*100= 0.996 = 99.6%

REALITY ( WITH 2 CM MARGE)

A = 450*502 = 22590mm² = 2259cm²
B = A – 2cm Marge – lamp hole (r=14mm) = 189420 – 615.44 = 188804.56 mm² = 1888 cm²
C=A-B= lamp hole (r=14mm) + 2cm Marge  = 615.44 + 36480 = 37095.44mm² = 370cm²
D=B/A*100S=.835=83.5%
